15 Ways to Reach Your Steemit Goals in 2018
I've been thinking a lot about ways I can build my Steemit channel in 2018 and I know many of you are wanting to do the same. I even received a request from @lukebrn to talk about tips for starting out on Steemit. He's made a goal for himself to post daily on his channel which is a great idea for us all. So in today's video I'll cover 15 ways (or things you can do) to build your Steemit channel...
- Pick 2 or 3 Categories to Write or Vlog About
- Post Daily or Several Times Per Week
- Create Irresistible Headlines
- Proof Read Your Articles and Edit, Edit, Edit
- Engage with Your Following and Take Suggestions
- Invest in Your Steem Power
- Reward Your Following with Upvotes
- Follow the News for Your Related Field/Subject
- Curate Content of other Steemians and Help Them to Build Their Channels
- Don’t Focus on the Money
- Choose Your Tags Wisely
- Run Contests on Your Channel
- Mention Whales in Your Articles
- Mention Your Followers in Your Articles/Vlogs
- Use Upvote Bots on Your BEST Posts
This list could probably be increased but this is a great start. In the comments, please list other ways you plan to build and grow your Steemit channel. Or if you have a Daily Action Plan (DAP) we would love to hear about it!
- Daily Comment Reward -
- Upvote this post
- Leave a unique comment (not just a "great video!" or "follow me")
- And you could win $20 USD worth of SBD!
That's it! It's also a great idea to go ahead and follow my channel so that you don't miss any upcoming posts. You can do that here: https://steemit.com/@brandonfrye
Hey @brandonfrye Ive been watching your videos for a while now and finally just followed you. I've been on here since June 2017 and finally getting into my own groove myself with my content. Keep doing what your doing! You have a fan for life.

Building a channel on steemit or any other platform should basically involve all it takes to build up any project in life - hardwork , commitment, patience and perseverance. I am a photographer and I am also delving into videography so I know what it takes to have to edit, re-edit and re-edit a vlog or a video or pictures. Its really not easy but when done well, its usually worth it. Your list is really on point but I feel one of the most important ways to build a channel is by posting QUALITY content. This will always keep your readers or watchers yearning for more. If what you have to offer is enough to make them miss that tv show or skip an early breakfast, then they will keep coming back for more and more people will keep coming because of what you are feeding your audience. Thanks for the tips @brandonfrye . I would really look into building myself on this platform as I have just recently joined. Cheers!!!

Hey @thejotographer, you're absolutely right. I'm not a professional videographer by any means, but this one post today took approximately 5 hours with research, video, editing, and not to mention comment followup. Luckily I'm pretty passionate about Steemit and I find it very rewarding. But it is a lot of work, there's no denying that. And quality content is something I stress regularly in all my videos. I really just gave everybody a break on that today, lol. But yes, I'm with you 100% on that. If you don't put your all into what you do, you may as well not do it. And quality should come first! Thanks for the great tips and the feedback. And welcome to Steemit!! Glad to have you here :)

The best way to climb higher is to carry everyone along as far as possible.
The saying "a candle looses nothing by lighting another candle" summarises your efforts to assist other steemians.

Great list of tips you have there, although IMHO you should be careful recommending upvote bots to people. These last few weeks I’ve seen loads of people (including me) losing money by using bots.
Also, can I suggest another tip?
Commenting consistently on posts of other people (preferrably dolphins or whales) can also give your SteemIt channel a boost. You’ve got to get your name out there using every way you can.
Thanks again for the tips :-)

I agree 100%. As I mention in my video you should never depend on bots. That’s a terrible long-term strategy and isn’t sustainable. You’re completely right.
And yes, that’s an excellent tip to add. Get the whale’s attention however you can. And you’ll get noticed by commenting on their posts. Great tip!

Due to my exams right now I havent been able to post on a daily basis. So I got my 10 year brother, @muqtada3102007, to join Steemit and he's been creating posts one after the other for us to post one everyday. So I've just been taking your tips and advice and experimenting on his account. So far his 2 posts have collectively made more than my 6 posts combined! 😅
Clearly proves that your tips and tricks work! 😃

Unfortunately, I'm still scared that nobody will join. Plus, I haven't given much to it. I want to support something very dear to me through a contest. Maybe soon.
I'm actually applying some of the tips here, but need to work on having better titles and tags for the posts.

If you haven’t built up a following first then do that before beginning a contest. But in the meantime you can join other contests and get your name (and channel) known. And of course, apply the other pointers here that you can. Sounds like you’re on the right track! :)

Yeah, that's a tough one for a lot of people to decide on. Maybe choose something that you're both passionate and knowledgable about. If you have several things then post them all and your following (and the Steemit community) will let you know what they want to see by upvoting and commenting on your posts. Hope that helps. :)

I think you have really great content, to me the point about selecting categories is so important because when I follow people I really want to see the same area being discussed, as well as having some sort of niche to bring diversity and draw people to your own unique view. Regular posting as well but keeping in mind providing new and valuable content. This is what I am trying to do, I am still a minnow though so I have a long way to go. I am a bit concerned about mentioning whales because unless it is relevant it feels like riding someone's coattails to me.

That's should be the 'mantra' for newcomers. My take is to invest in the Steem Power. Whatever SBD I could manage to earn, half of it I cashed out but now I have come to believe that it is important to stay in the system to make the best out of it.

I like this combination of enlightened self-interest along with community spirit!
Maybe you could throw out a challenge to your followers or whomever to report back on how many of these tips people have been able to follow up on in 2018?
Myself I plan to do ALL of them! Although since I just got here and haven't even done my introducemyself yet, it's still early days!
btw I'm going to by posting about yoga, quantified self, and cryptocurrency to get started.
Thx, keep it up!
